Fremont Troll to star in movie

After years of lurking under Seattle’s Aurora Bridge, the Fremont Troll is getting some attention.

A crew of filmmakers will debut a documentary about the troll August 1 at Hales Palladium starting around 7 p.m. The film features the creators of the troll, and is directed by Michael Falcone. It’s named after the spot under the bridge where the troll has lived since 1990.

The Hall of Giants chronicles the creation and endurance of the much beloved Fremont Troll and explores the public art movement in Seattle and beyond. Through interviews and hundreds of rare photographs and archival footage, viewers will take an historical journey through Seattle’s earliest years and on up to the present, where art and artists still struggle to survive in an ever-changing city.

There’s more on the documentary’s Facebook page. There isn’t a public trailer yet, but stay tuned for that.
